Accounting Manager

The Team:

As the backbone of organizational agility, the Finance and Accounting teams drive our ability to move swiftly and decisively. We provide critical insights that empower teammates to thrive at the intersection of people, process, and numbers. Our mission: ensure everyone has the infrastructure they need to succeed—and that the books close clean.

About the Role:

If you bring ops chops, a systems mindset, and the ability to manage both the detail and the dashboard view—this role is built for you.

We are looking for an Accounting Manager with ambition — someone who is wired towards process improvement, runs highly efficient, world class back office systems, and brings real energy to operational ownership. This is a high-impact role that reports directly to the Director of Accounting.

You will own the full cycle expense management function—Accounts Payable, corporate spend, and the dashboards that keep leadership informed. This is a hands-on role — you'll be a part of the team in the work, not above it — and you'll also be expected to step back and tell the story of what the data is showing. You will also be a key contributor to month-end close, driving accuracy and efficiency across GL expense accounts. High-volume task management, sharp reporting instincts, and a bias for process improvement and automation are your superpowers.

This role is a great fit for someone who has hands-on ops experience in a high-growth SaaS and/or remote environment, is energized by ownership and improvement, and is excited to grow with Consensus.

What You’ll Do: 

Expense Operations – Primary Ownership

• Drive the Expense Ops and AP Health Dashboards: maintain and improve reporting that gives leadership real-time visibility into payables health, spend exceptions, and policy compliance status
• Own full cycle Accounts Payable operations: vendor onboarding, bill entry and sync, payment batch management, aging review, and escalations
• Reconcile and manage people expenses on our GL and the integrations that support it 
• Manage corporate card and spend workflows in Rippling, including weekly CC review and sync, GL coding accuracy, policy enforcement, and exception reporting
• Champion tool utilization across Rippling, NetSuite, and connected platforms—ensuring the tech stack works as hard as the team and surfaces the right data at the right time
• Drive continuous improvement across AP and expense workflows—identifying automation opportunities, eliminating manual touchpoints, and leveraging AI tools to build a leaner, more resilient back office

Month-End Close & GL Expense Management

• Own GL expense account management within the close cycle such as: accruals, prepaid releases, reimbursement entries, allocation JEs, and workpaper completion
• Coordinate with the Director of Accounting to ensure all expense-side close deliverables are completed on schedule across the 6-day close window
• Support broader month end close activities as needed and after ramping

Compliance Monitoring & Reporting

• Although we have outside parties to manage and file tax forms, you will support multi-state payroll and tax compliance by tracking agency correspondence & notices across all active jurisdictions. Surface trends, flag risks, and deliver regular reporting and insights to Finance leadership to ensure obligations are met accurately and on time. 

Team Leadership & Mentorship

• Serve as a leader within the accounting team, providing day-to-day guidance and mentorship to staff accountants
• Model Consensus values
• Own process documentation and workflow standards that create consistency, reduce error rates, and free up team capacity for higher-value work

What We’re Looking For: 

Required

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in high-growth or remote-first environments
• Deep hands-on experience with AP, expense operations, and corporate card/spend management workflows
• Positioned as team operator and the lead narrator on expense ops — in the weeds one moment, forest-for-the-trees the next. 
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain operational dashboards and reporting deliverables (AP health, expense ops, GL pulse)
• Strong GL and month-end close experience with direct ownership of reconciliations and journal entries
• Proven ability to manage high-volume, recurring task workflows with precision, consistency, and accountability
• Exceptional organizational and self-management skills
• Comfort exploring AI tools to improve workflow efficiency

Bonus Points

• People management experience or demonstrated readiness to lead a direct report
• SaaS or enterprise software industry background
• Experience NetSuite or AP/spend tools
• CPA or equivalent designation
• Process builder mentality—you’ve documented SOPs, built runbooks, or led workflow redesigns
